    Every year, a lot of children in the USA go to summer camps. Some go to play outdoors in the woods, in the mountains or on lakes. But families now have many choices of special camps. These can be in the middle of nature or a big city. Special camps offer young people the chance to learn about different subjects.

    In technology camps, one subject that children can learn about is video game design. They learn how to use computer programs to create games of their own. One program that teaches video game design is called Cyber camp. Children can learn how to design their own virtual* worlds to set their video games in. Then, they program their own rules and objects into the games.

    Cyber camp also offers courses in robot building and Web design. A recent story in the Washington Post described how one child made a robot that could sing a song. Another made a robot that could follow a black line drawn on a piece of cardboard. Also, children can learn how to make websites. One child made a site for Pokemon, one of his favorite cartoon shows.

举一反三
Mostly, inventions happen because someone works to solve a problem. Kids are natural inventors. They often create amazing thing from simple ideas. Here are a few examples that might make you wonder, "Why didn't think of that?"

Popsicles

Popsicles were invented by 11-year-old Frank Epperson in 1905. He forgot a drink of juice and left it with a stir(搅拌) stick in it outside on a cold night. The next day it was ice. Because of this he couldn't drink it any more, but he could eat it. It tasted good! These ice sticks became popular among kids at school in summer because they were delicious and helped them stay cool.

More than a hundred years later, popsicles are sill one of the best summer treats!

Crayon Holdans

When 11-year-old Cssidss Coldstein needed crayons for a school project, she had a hard time because, there were so many small or broken ones. She found some small clear plastic tubes(管子)at home. Although the tiny tube were usually filled with water to keep flowers fresh, she found that they fit tightly (紧紧地) around the crayons. She was now able to hold them easily. This is how she invented Caryon Holders.

Wristies

When snow gets in kids' gloves and their hands get wet, they feel uncomfortable. 10﹣year﹣old Kathryn Gregoary decided to do something about it. She created the wristies as she wanted to keep her wrists(手腕)warm and dry. Wristies are long gloves with no fingers and they are worn under your coat. They help you when you work in the cold because your hands stay warm while you use your fingers. With her parents' help, Kathryn also opened a small shop where she sold her wristie. And she still runs it today.

All these inventions have one thing in common—the kids were trying to solve problems in their lives. When you meet problems, what would you do? If the kids can do it , you can do it, too!

 请先阅读下面短文,掌握其大意, 然后从方框所给的词的适当形式填空。每个词限用一次。

high return this look but stay poem hold same performance traditional

In ancient China, when friends or relatives were separating, they would pick a willow twig(柳条) and give it to the person who was leaving and wished for him {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. In Chinese, the word for "willow" has the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} pronunciation as the word for "stay". 

Many Chinese poets liked writing about willows in their works. One of the most famous {#blank#}3{#/blank#} is A Farewell Song(《送元二使安西》)by Wang Wei. It reads, 

No dust is raised on the road met with morning rain,

The willows by the hotel{#blank#}4{#/blank#} so fresh and green.

I invite you to drink a cup of wine again,

West of the Sunny Pass no more friends will be seen.

Nowadays, willow twigs can also be seen in modern art. There was an amazing {#blank#}5{#/blank#} about willow twigs. 365 people were {#blank#}6{#/blank#} willow twigs in their hands on the green stage. At the same time, an ancient painting of weeping willows appeared on the LED screen. The setting of 365 people stood for 365 days, and the colour green meant the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} of spring. The performance was{#blank#}8{#/blank#} praised by the audience. " I was totally attracted by {#blank#}9{#/blank#} Chinese culture, " one of them said. 

In short, giving a willow twig to a person is not saying goodbye {#blank#}10{#/blank#} asking him to stay. {#blank#}11{#/blank#} is the beauty of Chinese culture.
